The Five Great Philosophies of Life

Bag om The Five Great Philosophies of Life

Discover The Five Great Philosophies of Life. Epicureanism, Stoicism, Platonism, Aristotelianism, ChristianismExtremely well-written and knowledgeable, this book provides a great overview of the different schools of philosophical thought. The five centuries from the birth of Socrates to the death of Jesus produced five such principles: the Epicurean pursuit of pleasure, genial but ungenerous; the Stoic law of self-control, strenuous but forbidding; the Platonic plan of subordination, sublime but ascetic; the Aristotelian sense of proportion, practical but uninspiring; and the Christian Spirit of Love, broadest and deepest of them all.The purpose of this book is to let the masters of these sane and wholesome principles of personality talk to us in their own words; with just enough of comment and interpretation to bring us to their points of view, and make us welcome their friendly assistance in the philosophical guidance of life.
